Glossaries

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Glossaries in LokAI are workspace-level collections of terms that the LLM must follow when translating. A glossary entry can define:

  • A preferred term — the word or phrase that must be used
  • Forbidden terms — alternatives that must never appear in translations
  • Per-language overrides — different preferred terms per target language
  • Regional variants — e.g. es-MX can override the base es term
